VV Mineral Mining is shocked at being held responsible for the coastal erosion noticed in Tuticorin. He makes an effort in explaining how not just mining but various other activities contribute to the heavy erosion of coasts and mining being the least detrimental.

VV Mineral is a mining company started by S Vaikundarajan and was recently brought under the scanner regarding an alleged illegal mineral mining scam.

However, VV Minerals India was given a clean report from not just one but four different governmental organizations as was requested by the unforgiving Central Government

The organizational bodies that have looked in to the matter are Department of Atomic Energy, Indian Rare Earths Ltd., Department of Geology and Mining along with the Indian Bureau of Mines.

However, after being cleared by these respectable government bodies, VV Mineral India is now being held responsible for the heavy coastal erosion found on the coasts of Tuticorin.

Even though the mining company has operation in Tuticorin they are not alone responsible for the coastal erosion caused.

VV Mineral Vaikundarajan says, “Not just mining but many other man-made endeavours take a toll on the sand and accelerate erosions.

The population in Tuticorin has exploded in the last twenty years of the mining company’s presence, causing the shoreline to be encroached.

Man made constructions and methods of land reclamation also cause heavy loss of sand. In addition to which natural factors such as rain, wind and such must be taken into consideration before hurling baseless accusations.

Introduction: A collector from a village in Tamil Nadu brought to light an alleged thorium scam which was pegged to be the doing of VV Minerals, India. However, during a DAE probe into the working of the forerunning mining company it was made clear that VV Minerals has no machinery or processes to extract thorium. Yet, the name of the mining company and the owner continue to be strewn in thorium scam related reports.

When the possibility of a thorium scam was brought to the attention of the mining authorities the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) was asked to look into the matter.

Following protocol the DAE officials ran a thorough check of the VV Minerals set up in various states. VV Minerals and S Vaikundarajan were extremely co-operative during the entire process.

When the DAE probe was finished it was declared that VV Minerals, India have no form of machinery or mining process in place to facilitate the extraction of thorium

Thus, it is only natural that VV Minerals and its owner S Vaikundarajan expect that their names not be included in reports regarding the alleged thorium scam.

However, the name of VV Minerals and S Vaikundarajan continue to be mentioned in the reports about thorium scam despite the clearance from the DAE.

The DAE is an official authority and yet their probe is not being taken seriously and the media continues to disregard this crucial outcome.

However, S Vaikundarajan is confident that considering this a farce started by his industry rivals, his and his company’s name will soon be cleared out of the thorium scam.
